Introduction
Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma is a very rare pericardial tumor of unknown etiology.Case presentation
A 61-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of exertional dyspnea due to a large pericardial effusion. Intrapericardial fluid volume declined after repeated pericardiocentesis, but the patient progressively developed a hemodynamically relevant pericardial constriction. Pericardiectomy revealed a pericardial mesothelioma. Subsequently, four cycles of chemotherapy (dosage according to recently published trials) were administered. The patient remained asymptomatic, and there was no recurrence of the tumor after three years.Conclusion
Pericardial mesothelioma should be considered and managed appropriately in non-responders to pericardiocentesis, and in patients who develop constrictive pericarditis late in their clinical course. 相似文献32.

Biophysical characterization of quaternary pyridinium functionalized polynorbornenes for DNA complexation and their cellular interactions

下载免费PDF全文 Cationic polymers with hydrophobic side chains have gained great interest as DNA carriers since they form a compact complex with negatively charged DNA phosphate groups and interact with the cell membrane. Amphiphilic polyoxanorbornenes with different quaternary alkyl pyridinium side chains with ethyl‐p(OPy2) and hexyl units‐p(OPy6) bearing 10 kDa MWT were synthesized by living Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization method. The physicochemical characteristics: critical micellar concentration, size distribution, surface charge, and condensation of polymer/DNA complex were investigated. Morphology of complexes was monitored by Atomic force microscopy. Cytotoxicity and interaction of these complexes with model lipid vesicles mimicking the cell membrane were examined. These polymers were enabled to form small sized complexes of DNA, which interact with model membrane vesicles. It was found that the nature of hydrophobicity of the homopolymers significantly impacts rates of DNA complexation and the surface charge of the resulting complexes. These results highlight the prospect of the further examinations of these polymers as gene carriers. 相似文献

Background
Fungal rhinosinusitis has become an increasingly recognized disease, being Aspergillus species responsible for most of the cases. Its diagnosis is quite difficult because of the non-specific symptoms and low sensitivity of the current diagnostic methods.Aims
An Aspergillus-specific nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay using biopsy specimens taken from the maxillary sinuses was performed in order to assess its usefulness. Conventional diagnostic methods (histology and culture) were also carried out.Methods
A case–control study was performed in the Institute of Stomatology, Jagiellonian University in Kraków, between 2011 and 2014. The case group consisted of 21 patients with suspected rhinosinusal mycetoma while the control group included 46 patients with no suspicion of fungal rhinosinusitis. The two-step PCR assay amplified an Aspergillus specific portion of the 18S rRNA gene. Interval estimation of sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values were calculated to assess the diagnostic test performance. The agreement between the PCR and the other tests was evaluated using the Kappa coefficient (k).Results
Ninety percent of the samples obtained from patients diagnosed with mycetoma yielded positive PCR results. The PCR showed almost perfect concordance with histology (k = 0.88). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV estimates were 90%; 95% CI: (55.5–99.7%), 98.3%; 95% CI: (90.9–100%), 90%; 95% CI: (55.5–99.7%) and 98.3%; 95% CI: (90.9–100%), respectively. One clinical sample showed growth of Aspergillus fumigatus and positive PCR despite the negative histological examination.Conclusions
Nested PCR assay is a promising diagnostic tool to evaluate the presence of Aspergillus in the tissue of maxillary sinus from patients with suspicion of sinus aspergillosis. 相似文献38.
Response surface methodology was applied to determine the effects of pullulanase debranching, microwave irradiation time (2–4 min) and power (20–100%) on resistant starch (RS) formation and in-vitro glycemic index (GI) values in high amylose corn starch, Hylon VII. Starch:water (1:10) suspensions were cooked and autoclaved, debranched with pullulanase (1000 PUN/g; 1500 U/kg starch) at 60 °C and then different microwave-storing cycles and drying (oven or freeze drying) processes were applied. In order to describe the relationship between the dependent and independent variables (microwave power and irradiation time), the response values were fitted by first order polynomial regression models. Significance analysis showed that microwave irradiation time had significant effect on RS content and GI value of the samples treated with one cycle of microwave-storing prior to freeze-drying. Microwave power had significant factor on the GI value of the samples that were oven-dried after one cycle of microwave-storing. Solubility and water binding capacity values of all heat treated samples were higher than those of native starch. On the other hand, RVA viscosity values were lower than native starch for oven-dried samples. Water binding capacity, solubility and final viscosity values of the freeze-dried samples were higher than those of oven-dried ones. 相似文献
